For us at Sovereign Trust (Isle of Man) Limited our 2026 focus is with increasing business. We can offer a variety of bespoke global solutions for all types of businesses and individuals.

We at Sovereign Trust ( Isle of Man) Limited feel that there is lot of new development and new business opportunities evolving in Manchester and the North West. We see this city as becoming a major player worldwide. We are excited to be part of Pro-Manchester and support those businesses with the wealth planning.

Favourite meeting place in Manchester

I must admit I really enjoyed the Pro-Manchester event at the Kilmpton Clocktower Hotel, however Manchester has such a variety of lovely places to meet over coffee and chat, it unfair to pick one one.

Are their any particular types of businesses that you would like to meet?

I have been making contact with many of the professional advisors in Manchester, as many of our enquiries require advice, however I do hope that Pro-Manchester also proves the opportunity for other business to understand more about what we can do for them, and their businesses when considering wealth and succession planning.  Offshore structures can add value in a variety of ways and offer global flexibility. Additionally Sovereign  Group can support clients with companies registered in Enlgand and Wales, taking the stress out the back office administration tasks.
